Re: OT: OT/CHAT

Not to sound wishy washy I tend to agree with Noreen as well as Linda and Kitty.
I think this is an excellent forum for gardening as the base but that other topics
that interest should also come up.  Not sure that OT needs to be used if we can be
conscience of changing the subject line.  If the subject says "haggis" if you're
not interested in sheep's stomachs delete.  I've enjoyed the topics we've
discussed on this new list though I think the volume is somewhat overwhelming.  To
the point that I think a few people aren't reading certain messages and then
posting exactly what had already been said.

As for the AHS list I'm not sure that Sue was not forthright so much as in the
dark herself.  I don't attribute that to conspiracy as much as a lack of technical
skills.
